"Among Neighbors" Film Screening (Special Event Release Version)
In a town where history has been silenced, an eyewitness to murder speaks out in search of the boy she loved.
Combining magical realism with traditional documentary techniques, Among Neighbors examines the mystery of a small, rural town in Poland where people of two different faiths lived side by side for centuries — until the killing began. The film reveals both love and betrayal as it zeroes in on a crime committed among neighbors: the murder of Holocaust survivors, six months after the end of World War II. The chilling facts revealed in this documentary have led the office of Poland’s nationalist president to call for a ban on the film.
The Special Event Release includes 25 minutes of additional content in the form of a brief introduction by its award-winning filmmaker Yoav Potash, and an in-depth post-film Q&A compilation filmed live at sold-out screenings that reveals the fascinating making-of stories––as well as the ongoing controversy––behind this critically-acclaimed film.
